objtool: Consolidate file decoding into decode_file()

decode_sections() relies on CFI and cfi_hash initialization done
separately in check(), making it unusable outside of check().

Consolidate the initialization into decode_sections() and rename it to
decode_file(), and make it global along with free_insns() and
insn_reloc() for use by other objtool components -- namely, the checksum
code which will be moving to another file.
